(i) There is a group of five girls.
(ii) Kamini is second in height but younger than Rupa.
(iii) Pooja is taller than Monika but younger in age.
(iv) Rupa and Monika are of the same age but Rupa is tallest between them.
(v) Neelam is taller than Pooja and elder Rupa.
If they are arranged in the ascending order of height, who will be in third position ?
Answer: E
We first find the sequence of height :
By (iii), we have : M < P.
By (v), we have : P < N.
Now, Rupa is tallest and Kamini is is second in height.
So, the sequence of heights is : M < P < N < K < R.
Now, we determine the age sequence :
By (ii), we have : K < R.
By (iii), we have : P < M.
By (iv), we have : R = M.
By (v), we have : R < N.
So, the sequence of ages is : N < R = M < K < P or N < R = M < P < K.
Clearly, in the increasing order of height, Neelam is in third position.
Hence, the answer is (e).

Clearly, there is one belonging to 20th century. So, A who belongs to 20th century contributes to Marathi poetry.
Also, D is a Hindi poet and novelist who belongs to the 19th century.
There are only two Marathis. So, C who is a Marathi will contribute to poetry, novel and drama.
Clearly, there are only four poets. So, F who is a poet, will be Bengali belonging to the 17th century. There is now no other Bengali, no other Marathi and no other poet. B, who wrote drama only cannot be Tamil and does not belong to 19th century. So, B belongs to 17th century and is a Hindi dramatist.
